I don't think that's the reason. I got an email from them yesterday. They said it was because they were changing the packaging to make it a bound box with cd sleeves. That's the reason for the production delay. I did listen to one of the new tracks which sounds fantastic. I just hope the CD's run 70-80 minutes each not 40-50 like the original cd.

thanks for the heads up! This is a very good video of the release... I'm really looking forward to it... Might have to play some Bill this afternoon.... http://www.youtube.c...h?v=innDU9rCf0Y

I have the CD. I liked it a lot. Nice to hear Anita from that era.

Okay.... Is this being released?

You raise good points JS... But my concern for example is Maria Schneider's latest. You can pay $20 for the CD and then the next price point is $350.00 To me that's ridiculous! I love her stuff, have all of her CD's but there's no way I would or could give her $350. Previously for other projects she had other pricing options (e.g., $40, etc.). I'm happy to support the concept. I've probably bought over a 15 CDs from artistshare BUT they have got to have more intermediate (modest) funding options. Like Virginia Mayhew (renmarecordings.com) did the same thing (along with other artists who use kickstarter). I gave her $50 since I love her stuff. I got listed on the CD which was great. The max I would give for almost any artist would be $100. Jim Hall's $75 was a stretch and I only did that cause I have the original CD. I'm totally into supporting the artists directly. I just think (given this economy especially) it's not fair to those of us who don't have $350 to limit our participation to two options.

I did cave in on the $75. I was in a spend happy mood then... You are right though... Their price scheme has gotten too high. I will be buying very few new releases from them in the future. I'll get the new Maria Schneider but that's probably it for a long time.

thanks for the heads up.... You might want to share this with Laurie Pepper...

They're coming back to Boston in June again... This time I hope to get there.

No clue... Started going to gigs in the late 1980s.. and went to a LOT more when I was single and not a parent.... If I had to guess... two to three hundred.... These days maybe I get to go to 6-10 a year... Maybe...

I just ordered the World Saxophone Quartet set and last week the Don Pullen... I know these just got announced and came out but does anyone have any idea as to what the next set might be???? Which artists are left who had a lot of BS/SN recordings? Thanks.

of course I voted for the 6cd set!

Thanks Sue... Please do work with Mosaic to get this out in a boxed set... The liner notes would probably be a hoot...

A 60 minute Bill Evans set is on sale today for $5...

Yea my sister got her one after the last fall. It sucks that we all have this problem and there's no easy fixes. She needs a medical alert device and plan. My mother has one, and before she had full time aides she was rescued at least three times after falls--the company gets the notification and they send out local emergency services. There are a number of providers. I think my mother might have this one: http://www1.lifestation.com/

I've got a similar case. My 80 year old mother lives at home (next door to her sister). She can barely take care of herself and I'm 300 miles away. One time she fell in the bathroom and laid there all night until her sister found her the next day. I think in your case, getting your dad good physical care is important... Try and find some solace in that he is probably (hopefully) being well cared for. Sorry for you and him.

I did originally mean to put female vocalists but I forgot. These responses are interesting in that... a) Billie is up there for a lot of people, b) Ella is not and c) very few contemporary singers... I do like Karrin Allyson a lot (and Tierney Sutton). I'm also surprised that one of my other faves Abbey Lincoln hasn't come up yet.. BTW... For those of you who have some pull over at Mosaic... can you PLEASE get them to do my Betty Carter Select???

Damn I knew I forgot someone... Gotta put Betty into the third place tie, perhaps along with Shirley Horn...

okay I'm sure this has been brought up before... but I feel like it anyway.... So what are your three all-time fave female vocalists in order of preference? For Moi... 1) Billie H. 2) Anita O'Day (close second) 3) Tie - Karrin Allyson & Cassandra Wilson... Sorry but no matter how hard I try I can't just dig Sarah Vaughn or Ella... (I like them both but not in the top three...) Okay humor me..

I didn't need to get the deluxe. I just got the USB drive and there are no repeats on that.

I'd have to look at the tracks on the 2-cd set but my understanding is that the USB tracks are all IN ADDITION to... (e.g., unreleased on the CD). I'm pretty sure that it's an additional 5+ hours of music. The deluxe edition only adds a poster if you have the CDs. Does that answer your question?

Okay... just finished listening to the full 5+ hours. Overal I would say it was excellent! Thirty-four (34) tracks, not a lot of repeated songs. Actually there are no repeats. Sound quality is excellent. The ONLY downsides for me is that Gayle Moran Corea is on three tracks singing. (: I just DO NOT like her voice. They also could have created a digital booklet (minor point). Although it's a bit pricey I'm glad I have it!

Not to my knowledge. It does have both Flac and MP3s. I just copied them to Itunes as well as burning it to a DVD. I know it's a bit pricey but I'm really enjoying it.

I caught this over at Chick's website... I purchased the USB stick. I've gotten about halfway through and it's fantastic! So far all acoustic stuff. (My strong preference.... ) Also some tunes I rarely have ever heard Chick play... A little Stevie Wonder (Overjoyed), Monk... Really really nice... An excellent find for Moi... http://www.ccwforever.com/

Just ordered the Don Pullen box this AM... Great price over at grooves.inc. $32 US incl. free shipping for 7CDs... I'll probably get the WSQ box at some point...

Most acts play about 50-55 minute sets these days. Like in the case of Ornette, Sonny, usually the last performer of the weekend (Tony Bennett in another case) gets longer. Maybe an hour and a half...
